I hear ya! the beginning of my pregnancy up until 21 weeks I couldn't eat & snoring was the only thing that help stop the sickness, I could actually eat. but I live in Ontario so we don't have to worry about drug testing unless there is known drug abuse and signs. best to start slowing down and trying to find something to substitute the urge to smoke

My concern is that there isn't any legit research on the matter. If I had something that was scientifically backed saying yes or no to smoking while pregnant I would feel a little better. As of right now, I am still smoking at 11 weeks. I can't just stop. I have a one year old, work full time and have had morning sickness starting at 10 weeks soooo quitting anytime soon would suck so bad.

My only concern is being tested, im having a homebirth though an the last two I had the midwife didnt drug test so I think im in the clear but to be safe im going to make sure I stop before I give birth.

I hear ya! I have a 3 year old and work & its stressful! Especially when you've smoked so long right. I wouldn't worry to much about quitting but try cutting back and finding something else to kick the habit when you really want to smoke!

that sounds exciting! How far along are you? I don't have any worries about drug testing, but around 35 weeks is when I'll start to slow down & than see what happens when baby comes! I wouldn't think you would get tested unless there was reasonable ground to

My concern is a miscarriage due to smoking. Not from pot necessarily but any smoke getting to the baby causing a miscarriage. I had a missed miscarriage in 2014 and carried a dead fetus for a month before finding out so I'm just ultra paranoid about everything and my body doing that to me again. I'm still smoking just a few puffs at night to help me fall asleep 5w5d today.

Im a first time mom, Ive heard so many things, both negative and positive. Im about 6 weeks and absoluely need to take a few hits a couple times a day just to feel normal and not want to vomit everywhere. I really want to quit by my 2nd trimester, which i think is reasonable. My husband is currently ok with it, which makes me feel a lot better. I am worried about drug testing, i live in PA and the state is slowly legalizing it but its not legal. I find it absurd that a dr. would prescribe a woman oxycontin but frown on weed or even call CPS over it. I refuse to take medication made of who-knows-what chemicals. Im really happy to have found this group for good honest, not judgememtal, advice.

Everybody does have their negative and their positive feedback on any situation right, what matters is that you do what you believe is best for your baby! I was the same, the beginning of my pregnancy I couldn't eat, I was vomiting at least 9 times a day, I went 4 days without eating because I was so sick and than morning sickness, smoking was the only thing to help me feel better. I plan to quit by 35 weeks just so I can really focus on feeling myself and preparing for labour! I'm 25, measuring 26 weeks Friday!

I quit when I found out I was pregnant because although THC might not impact the baby, I felt like the act of smoking would. I know smoking isn't good for me and just didn't want to risk it. It's been really hard, especially with insomnia and a terrible first trimester. But all in all it was the right decision for me, especially when I see the stress other moms have regarding being tested.
